NevGold Corp. has released assay results from the first three drillholes of its 2026 exploration program at the Limousine Butte project in Nevada, returning extensions of oxide antimony-gold mineralization more than 100 metres outside the current block model.

The initial holes targeted the Bullet Zone and Armory Fault area on the eastern flank of the Resurrection Ridge resource, where NevGold holds a 100% interest. Historic gold leach pads from 1989-1990 mining operations at the site are being evaluated alongside the Resurrection Ridge and Cadillac Valley targets.

Drillhole LB26-003 intersected 1.16% antimony over 3.0 metres from 41.1 to 44.2 metres depth, positioned within a broader intercept of 1.38 g/t gold equivalent over 50.3 metres from surface, which included 0.31% antimony and 0.19 g/t gold. Further down the hole, a lower interval returned 1.31 g/t gold equivalent over 13.7 metres containing 0.59 g/t gold and 0.18% antimony, inside a 38.1-metre section grading 0.71 g/t gold equivalent.

Drillhole LB26-002 yielded an upper interval of 1.04 g/t gold equivalent over 10.7 metres from surface, and a lower intercept of 3.94 g/t gold equivalent over 6.1 metres containing 0.95% antimony and 0.25 g/t gold, within a 65.5-metre zone averaging 1.04 g/t gold equivalent.

Drillhole LB26-001 returned an upper interval of 2.81 g/t gold equivalent over 3.0 metres containing 0.67% antimony and 0.21 g/t gold, within a 9.1-metre section grading 1.34 g/t gold equivalent from surface. Its lower interval intersected 3.30 g/t gold equivalent over 3.0 metres with 0.23% antimony and 2.39 g/t gold, inside a broader 45.7-metre zone averaging 0.42 g/t gold equivalent.

The company has completed 28 holes in its 2026 drilling campaign, with assays pending for 25 additional holes. Regional activity across the district includes drill results from the Maverick Springs project returning 98.3 metres at 120.3 g/t silver equivalent with antimony up to 1.23% reported by Sun Silver Limited on August 18, 2026. NevGold is concurrently advancing preliminary economic assessments and engineering studies for Limousine Butte.

It is extremely encouraging that we have already been able to expand the maiden oxide antimony-gold MRE by over 100 meters outside of the current block model . The first 3 holes of the 2026 program all intercepted significant antimony-gold mineralization with antimony and gold grades consistently higher than the grades in the MRE .
